+- ⚠️ `LLMService.function_call_timeout_secs` now defaults to `None` instead of `10.0`. Deferred function calls will run indefinitely unless a timeout is explicitly set at the service level or per-call. If you relied on the previous 10-second default, pass `function_call_timeout_secs=10.0` explicitly.
